Automating OA ShowAll dumps

[huyle]

We are trying to automate the OA ShowAll inventory dumps for historical purposes. Has anyone ever tried this or have ideas on a good method? Maybe something similar to the CPQLOCFG.EXE with XML scripts, but for the OA's instead of of iLO's.

Using HP SIM you could use a Custom Command to log in to OA and execute SHOW ALL and then schedule it to run at some frequency like once a week across all of your OAs. HP SIM would record the output of each of them and you could print them as a comprehensive report if you wanted to. You also could copy and paste it out of HP SIM to re-set-up any OA you wanted to...

I'm not too familiar with the SIM Custom Command. Can you provide a quick how to?

Tools --> Custom Tools --> New Custom Tool. Select 'Remote Tool' and click [Next]. Fill in the information including the name you want it to have and the command itself, 'show all'
